Cytology And HPV Testing Market : Projection On New Trends And Technical Advancement For 2024

Cytology and HPV testing kits are used extensively in PAP testing and cervical cancer testing. This report on the cytology and HPV testing market analyzes the current and future prospects of the market. An elaborate executive summary includes the market snapshot demonstrating overall information on various segments and sub-segments. This section also provides the complete information and data analysis of the cytology and HPV testing market with respect to the leading market segments based on product and services, and geography.

The market overview section of the report includes qualitative analysis of the overall cytology and HPV testing market including the determining factors and the market dynamics such as drivers, restraints, and opportunities, along with Porter’s Five Forces Analysis. This section of the report also provides market attractiveness analysis with thorough analysis of the overall competitive scenario in the global overall cytology and HPV testing market. In addition, epidemiology of HPV and cervical cancer has been provided which gives incidence rate, annual number of new cases, and mortality of HPV-related cervical cancer in different countries. The competitive scenario between different market players is evaluated through market share analysis. These factors are anticipated to help the market players to take strategic decisions in order to strengthen their positions and increase their shares in the global market.

The competitive landscapes of the cytology testing market and the human papillomavirus (HPV) testing market are both oligopolistic in nature. Transparency Market Research has found that a handful of large companies have been enjoying dominance over the global scenario, thereby reducing the level of competition and making the entry of new players extremely difficult.

Qiagen N.V., Hologic, Inc., and F.Hoffman-La Roche AG together enjoy a massive 86% of the HPV testing market. “Considering that the market shares of the first and second place companies catering to the demand for HPV testing are rather close, upcoming approvals for new screening tests are likely to have a significant impact on their position in the market,” the author of the study states. For instance, the 2014 approval of Roche’s cobas HPV test by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has resulted in the upsurge of the company’s market share from what it was a couple of years ago.

Similarly, Hologic and Becton Dickinson account for 89% of the cytology testing market. The only competition observed by TMR in this area of the market is currently in the segment of Pap tests in the U.S., which is a lucrative avenue for cytology testing. However, non-FDA approved tests also pose a threat to the present status of players.

“Companies in the overall cytology and HPV testing market have been relying on international expansions and collaborations to retain their dominance,” the analyst states. Direct engagement with diagnostic laboratories and contracting with governments for patient care programs are also a few key strategies adopted by the players.

The growing incidence of cervical cancer as well as HPV infections is the single most important factor driving the demand for cytology and HPV testing. The number of new cases of cervical cancer and the number of deaths resulting from this chronic condition have propelled patients to opt for early detection and diagnosis methods. The rise in awareness about the commercial availability of screening tests has driven the adoption of cytology testing. The high incidence rate of HPV infections and growing awareness regarding the threat that these infections pose to the immune system have fueled HPV testing and Pap smear screening.

However, TMR has observed that several emerging markets present a similar challenge. “The lack of access to better healthcare and infrastructure for women and the presence of outdated facilities in most developing countries restrict the large-scale adoption of cytology and HPV testing,” the analyst states.

The global market for cytology and HPV testing is projected to expand at a rapid pace over the coming years, with the value rising from US$7.9 bn in 2015 to US$10.5 bn by 2024. North America is the largest as well as the fastest expanding regional market in terms of revenue and this segment is poised to develop at a 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period to reach US$5.8 bn by 2024. While HPV testing services dominate the HPV testing market by revenue, assays kits are anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 10.1% from 2016 to 2024. On the other hand, the cytology testing market is led by cytology testing services and cytology testing assay kits are likely to expand at a 5.1% CAGR, the fastest among other sub-segments.
